How to check if a type is a struct from a portable library

Question

Traditionally I would test if a type is a struct as such:

public void Do<TType>(TType value)
{  
   if (typeof(TType).IsValueType) 
   {
      // code for structs
   }
   else
   {
      // code for non structs
   }
}

But now I find the IsValueType property is not available in the portable class library with the frameworks I'm targeting. How would one go about to check if it is a struct or not then?

I'm targeting:

• .NET Framework 4.5
• ASP.NET Core 5
• Windows 8
• Windows Phone 8.1
• Xamarin.Android
• Xamarin.iOS
• Xamarin.iOS (Classic)

Try

using System.Reflection;

typeof(TType).GetTypeInfo().IsValueType
